In-situ piston measurements

Abstract Measurements are reported of piston secondary motion, piston ring motion, piston ring oil-film thicknesses, piston ring pack oil chemistry, piston friction and piston temperatures, using a variety of experimental techniques on running engines. These in-situ measurements have highlighted a number of interesting effects, of importance to both the piston designer and the lubricant formulator.
